On the basis of applied research, we propose a method to select possible sites; furthermore, we carefully consider the population and the travel time of users. A GIS programme is used for calculations. Besides, another application of the method is proposed for the analysis of pedestrians¡¯ mobility. %K isochronal maps %K GIS %K multicriterium analysis %K demographic dispersion %K facilities and services centres %K location of services %U http://geografie.ubbcluj.ro/ccau/jssp/arhiva_2_2012/05JSSP022012.pdf
